Church of the Intercession, Orthodox church in Nizhyn, Ukraine.
The Intercession Church features four symmetrical apses arranged in a cross shape, with an elevated central dome and two-tiered bell tower.
Built between 1757 and 1765 with funds from local merchants, the church replaced an earlier wooden structure dedicated to the Birth of Virgin Mary.
The church serves as a center for religious gatherings and maintains publication of the Pokrova newspaper for its congregation.
Located 80 kilometers southeast of Chernihiv, the church holds regular services and operates a volunteer center supporting community initiatives.
The tetraconch architectural design of the Intercession Church represents a rare example of this style in 18th-century Ukrainian religious buildings.
